About

MacDoctor is the thoughts of Dr. Jim McVeagh, who is currently working as a GP in Auckland. He thinks politics and health make strange, and often uncomfortable, bedfellows and that the law of unintended consequences is particularly bitter in medicine.

This blog is intended for that mythical creature, the man in the street (Honest politicians and unicorns are also welcome – no trolls, please). If my post is incomprehensible to you, feel free to let me know in the comments and I will try to translate the offending portion into human…

Feel free to make comments as you see fit. I am relatively tolerant, but try to keep bad language to a minimum. Trolls will die an untimely death…

You can contact Jim with any interesting ideas at jim AT macdoctor DOT co DOT nz
